1906 Fan Craze question
Posted By: Marty Ogelvie
Were these cards from a card game?? I found a Wagner on eBay http://tinyurl.com/5gwnmq and noticed it had a high grade but that 2 more were graded even higher (9)! It seems to me that if these cards were part of a card game, they would be worse for wear but to have this many graded so HIGH makes me wonder what these cards are made of? Acylic? martyOgelvie nyyankeecards.com

1906 Fan Craze question

They are made out of stock that is similar, in thickness, to modern playing cards...maybe a little thicker. The reason there are so many high grade ones is that there have been several new "decks" of them found. Complete games in new condition....There was a set on ebay a few years ago that a board member bought. They came back 8's, 9's and many 10's.....He got them slabbed, registered on PSA Registry and sold them for quite a bit in auction....These cards are the most prevelent to find in high grade of any other pre war vintage cards....and also the most affordable, relatively speaking (obviously).

I don't care for some of the hype with sellers either. They say it's one of Wagner's rarest cards with only 17 graded.....Pesonally, from experience, I would say this is one of his more common pre-war Wagner cards....

Leon, the ability of a great salesman is to hype something without it sounding like HYPE. Which is exactly why I am no salesman. I have just as hard a time dishing out BS as I do swallowing it! Matt, Yes.. that makes sense now that I think of it.. round corners would definately ease the grading. martyOgelvie nyyankeecards.com

As a career salesperson I agree with you. I don't like to be "sold" and I can smell it 2 miles away. Give me the facts and let me make my own mind up. Giving misleading facts, as this seller does (imo) only drives me away.

I got an email from an interested party about this particular card up for auction. Though in my brain housing group I wouldn't really consider it scarce or rare, the facts seem to point out a different scenario. I never mind saying I made a mistake...so on this one, with the sets as listed below, I made a mistake....the Fan Craze could in fact be considered scarce....Here are PSA pop's I was given for Wags in these sets.
